The Crash

Thank God it's over! I crashed! The unbearable fear of what would be... Is known. Thinking, waiting, anticipating, just wondering... How will I react? Could I handle it? Would I be able to get out of my bike? The answers: the BEST I can, like a trooper, clipped right out. In fact I was quite the acrobat. Flew right over the handle bars and back up on my feet. Seamless. Racked my knee pretty good, but flying off the bike. A few bruises. Yes there was blood and it did call for an unscheduled stop at the Mobil a few miles down for First Aid. Thanks Mobil! And thanks Southwest Bicycle crew for taking care of me. And yes we did finish our ride. 46 miles.

I learned so much. I know alot. My reaction time is pretty good. I merely bumped another rider, I didn't take him out. Sorry Jeff. I'm pretty tough! Not one tear. The crash also gave me a new confidence in my abilities.

Goals met for the week: 1. 278 miles covered on the road 4hrs completed indoor. 2. Rode 4 days in a row 50+ miles. This week stretching it out to 5.
